We love Spaeztle around here. It is quick and easy, especially if you have a spaeztle maker. Mine is an old one that was given to me by a German friend. I recommend one of the sturdy German models if you are planning on purchasing one.

Many years ago a German friend had us over for dinner. She not only prepared us a delicious meal from her mother's recipes she shared her recipes with me. Beef Stroganoff served over spaetzle has been a family favorite ever since.

Now that my sons are heading out on their own they are asking for my recipes so that they can prepare their favorites themselves. Though not a pretty dish for a photograph, it makes up for itself with flavor.

We have served this over packaged egg noodles and toasted bread, but our favorite is with homemade spaeztle. Hope you enjoy. Zum Wohl.
